Functional mutations were found in 31%(9/29) of patients; 7 of these mutations were novel and another was the L858R mutation. All missense mutations were found to be activating mutations and responsive to erlotinib. Of t
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC2970593 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 6
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Oncogenic
Justification: Predictive: The passage indicates that the L858R mutation is an activating mutation that is responsive to erlotinib, suggesting a correlation with treatment response. Oncogenic: The mention of the L858R mutation as an activating mutation implies its contribution to tumor development or progression, consistent with oncogenic behavior.
